Engineered for Safety
Yale is famous for offering safe lift trucks that are flexible and adaptable for many different tasks and applications. The ability to manufacture and engineer units for enhanced safety comes from the new technology which is available in the material handling industry and the company's experience.
In their newest designs, Yale has started incorporating newly available technologies. Some of the new technologies that are available are first applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company performs numerous controlled field tests and reliability development in order to make certain that their products are very safe.
To be able to improve overall safety, Yale has engineered and developed many new features, that have been integrated on a lot of models including:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The operator compartment has been engineered with ergonomics in mind, utilizing state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to ensure that the operator avoids heavy repetitive motions and exhaustion. These extra comforts help to increase overall productivity.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Adjustable operator controls enable the operators to choose the positioning of their necessary controls. This helps make the machinery user friendly, regardless of who is utilizing it. Before starting their shift, the operator could make certain he or she is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation called the Operator Presence System prevents the operation of the equipment if the operator is not in the right operating position. This presence system also disables directional travel on trucks that have internal combustion engines.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The drop-down design brings the LPG tank out from the protected center of the truck and down to the natural handling position of the operator making the tank easier to change.
